The third-seeded Gasquet needed a mere 69 minutes to post a 6-2, 6-3 victory
in Sunday's final. He improved his match record to 14-1 this year and became
the first two-time winner on the ATP World Tour in 2013.

Gasquet also won the Australian Open tune-up in Doha to open the year and
helped France to a first-round Davis Cup win over Israel with a pair of
singles victories. His lone loss this year came against countryman Jo-Wilfried
Tsonga in the fourth round of the Aussie Open.

Sunday's rout gave Gasquet his ninth career title and his third in France. He
also won tournaments in his native country in Lyon in 2006 and Nice in 2010.

Paire, seeded eighth this week, was appearing in his second ATP final. He was
also the runner-up last May in Belgrade.

Gasquet, who improved to 9-10 all-time in title matches, earned a first prize
of $100,000.
